7 Helpful Stress Reducer Tips
1. Remember you are not alone. Talk to friends and family. "Three keys to abundant living: caring about others, daring for others, and sharing with others."(Ward).

4. Exercise! Run, walk, swim or stroll! Choose the right cardio work out for your body and keep that blood circulating!
5. Read! Choose meaningful input! Some like fiction. Some like facts. Some like light inspirational stories. What you read can make a difference in your attitude.
6. Rest! Take time (that should be "make" time) for relaxation and fun.
7. Be thankful for the health you have and take care of it! Eat healthier! It will make difference in how you feel.
